About Gary Condit

Gary Adrian Condit (born April 21, 1948) is an American former politician from California. A Democrat, Condit represented California's 18th congressional district in the United States House of Representatives from 1989 to 2003. He gained significant national attention after the May 2001 disappearance of Chandra Levy, an intern with the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Condit and Levy were having an affair, and she was subsequently found to have been murdered. Condit was investigated and was widely believed to be a suspect, generating enormous media coverage in the succeeding months. He was never charged and is not believed to have played any role in the crime, as the investigation turned to more likely criminal suspects. On May 22, 2002, they were discovered accidentally in a secluded area of Rock Creek Park in Washington, D.C. In 1967, when Condit's father became pastor of a Baptist church near Modesto, his family relocated there.
